THE expletive filled audio of the VAR gaffe behind Luis Diaz’s disallowed goal has been released.
Liverpool star Diaz was wrongly deemed to be offside by an onfield official when scoring a goal against Tottenham, only for VAR to not intervene and reward it.
The Premier League released the audio footage of Luis Diaz’s disallowed goal vs Spurs
After Liverpool called for clarity on why the decision was made, the refereeing body have now made the audio available to the public.
The footage reveals VAR officials Darren England and assistant Dan Cook drew the lines showing that Diaz was onside.
The indication was then given by the officials that the check was complete, with the VAR team heard saying: “Well done boys good process.”
However, the officials then realised play had resumed without the correct call being made on field after the replay operator queried the decision.
Upon being asked again by the replay operator about the outcome of the decision, the VAR team then became aware the incorrect call had been made.
Assistant video referee Cook then backs this up by saying: “That’s wrong Daz”.
Upon realising the error, England be heard saying: “Oh ****.”
The replay operator can be heard requesting to delay the game, but since it had already resumed there was no way to pull it back.
England can be heard saying: “I can’t do anything”, before swearing once again.
